Annotation The article deals with the effect of nootropics on the rats under hypoxia. The study is based on germovolume hypoxia as a model of hypoxia which considerably changes the acid-base balance of blood. The indices of pH, pCO2, and pO2 decrease, i. e. the author registers respiratory acidosis. Piracetam in the dose with antihypoxic effect (50mg/kg) has a protective effect comparable to the action of sodium hydroxybutyrate, which is considered an etalon of antihypoxic effect. The substance of nootropic type, meclofenoxate (100 mg/kg), with no antihypoxic effect, also has a protective effect on rats in the state of hypoxia. All studied substances had a protective effect on the acid-base balance during hypoxia, set on this model.
Key words hypoxia, acidosis, alkalosis, nootropics, piracetam, natrium oxybutyrate, meclofenoxate.
